If this DVD list was your girlfriend, you'd be down the pub complaining about you can't get no lovin' on account of the decorators are in.

By which I mean this is a bad week.

Menstruation humor, man. It's these elegant, sophisticated quips that make me fall for The Duke like an Alsatian on an ice-rink.

Anyway, there's a few goodies in here, and when I say these are worth-while, I don't mean just in comparison with the rest of the crud, I mean these are actually worth flinging money in the direction of. They are as follows;

The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra

The Duke wants to see this so bad that I bleed from my eyes at the very thought of it. An affectionate piss-take of Ed Wood-style b-movie wonder, it's filled to bursting with hilariously bad dialogue, wooden acting, and skeletons being moved by pieces of string. The Duke's favorite line of the year came from this here film, and I'd only saw the trailer.

"Aliens? Us? (shocked, tries to feign laughter) Ha, is that one of your Earth-Jokes?"

Bad Santa - Unrated Version With Extra Sexing, Fuck-Words And So On

There was a lot of yacking about this was the funniest thing any motherfucker had saw since this one time when a guy creamed himself on a bus by accident, but to be honest, The Duke felt a little under-whelmed once I got past the whole "It's Santa, and he's sexing a lady in the arsehole passages!"

It's worth a watch, though, and it's certainly very funny in places. Special mention must go to John Ritter's award-worthy performance as an uptight store-manager, one of his top three performances after Bride Of Chucky and Stay Tuned, although he was very good in Problem Child also.

Mama Roma

If you enjoyed The Duke's recent critique of The Motherfucking Cinema Of Pier Paulo Pasolini, then you'll want to be seeing this controversial flick what he crafted with regards the prostitutes. It was banned in America for 33 years, on account of "obscenity", and now gets the shiny disc treatment.

It's one of the lesser-known items in the Pasolini canon, and is therefore as welcome as a post-coital cigarette as far as The Duke is concerned.

Extras on the 2-disc affair include a 55-minute doc on the director, and also one of Passolini's short films, about a man wants to make a film about The Passion of Jesus and what not. Maybe he made an earlier one about a fella wears a kilt and bares his arse-hole?

Superguy

God knows there's not enough superhero spoofs doing the rounds. I mean, sure, there's The Pro, about a prostitute is a superhero, and there's Mystery Men, about William H Macy is a superhero, and there's The Incredibles, about something to do with CGI superheroes, but really, we need a few more is what The Duke would suggest.
